We Asked You to Caption Surreal Airport Photo of Mueller and Don Jr. Here Are Your Best
The cosmos blew up and the world as we know it ended Friday when special counsel Robert Mueller and Donald Trump Jr. were photographed waiting at the same gate at DCA.
Thankfully, Politico was on the scene to capture the moment when the Matrix shattered:

3. “Hey Eric, do you know if they sell diapers adult diapers at the airport? Asking for a friend… you don’t know, well then can you call dad and call me back, I don’t want to call him because I think my phone might be bugged all of a sudden, thanks bro.” – Snarky Cat
2. “I see Fed people.” – Dumb Donnie

Mueller gets to his office most days around 7am. Looks like he took the day off. https://t.co/sSaM4CuNZo

Little known fact: This is how Mueller listens in on phone calls without a FISA. https://t.co/gJjGLXO5r5

I’m just happy these two both had to suffer through 35X, the worst gate in America, like the rest of us https://t.co/TFIqWgfoQ9

Weird, usually the only place Don Jr. sees Mueller is his nightmares. https://t.co/LjA7BLz5iF

Maybe the two are boarding the same flight and will have a cozy little “chat” over whiskey sours.
